Answer/Quote: “At the K-12 level, neoliberal reform has outsourced
assessment to the testing and test prep industry, which enjoys an unregulated
marketplace and government subsidization through the No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) law. Curriculum is largely packaged by textbook companies, instruction
is often scripted by off-the-shelf programs, and ‘supplemental instruction’ is
increasingly provided by private vendors.” P. 454.
